[edit]Hi Old Yeller. Can you put a stop to this speedy deletion of my name. I have done nothing wrong here. I own all the material in question. The site in question slitherproductions copied and pasted the Automan.ca info/bio off one of my sites. I own that material out right. I could order them to take it down. This all stemmed back to the Killer Dwarfs page not Automan.ca. Also. This article was clearded by a wiki administrator jimbleak as credable. He helped me format it. Thank You —Preceding unsigned comment added by Unkledunk (talk • contribs) 16:53, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
- I'm going to leave the tag up but I'm going to talk to Jim about the article. If I'm wrong, he can revert anything that's been done. From what I see, the issue hasn't been solved and sadly, we can't take your word for it when it comes to copyright infringements. While the page may be deleted, it can always be brought back if the copyright violation is found to have been addressed. OlYellerTalktome 17:33, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
There is no copyright infringement on the Automan.ca article. The infringement happened when I was editing the Killer Dwarfs page or updating it with current info on myself. I copied and pasted some of my own Bio. I dont know where the accused infringement came from. This is insane.
- After reading the messages between you and Jim, I see that he didn't endorse your article. He simply helped you to format your article a bit and then said, "It's up to you to decide when to recreate the article." Also, after a little review of the situation, it was marked at first as a copyvio but deleted by Jimfbleak as an A7 (non-notable band). I have again marked it as an A7. The reason that all this is happening is covered in this write up about creating your first article. I could attempt to explain it all but I'd probably forget something and the write up there has better explanations that I could give. OlYellerTalktome 17:33, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
Ol Yeller. Jim helped me with the formatting yes, and after I explained my multi platinum band Killer Dwarfs is on Wikipedia and who I am a founding member he was Ok with the article. Also Automan.ca is already on Wiki but in Brazil. I dont know who posted it. Im in the top 150 drummers in the world. This band is a big deal in my career of 35 years and the last band I will write music for and tour in. If its not added on wiki now, it will be when I'm dead. As I told Jim. I dont take it personal. There are thousands of articles on my bands and myself on google. I wont bother with this on here anymore.
Speedy deletion declined: Vincent Fovargue
[edit]Hello OlYeller21. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Vincent Fovargue, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The article makes a credible assertion of importance or significance, sufficient to pass A7. Thank you. Nancy talk 15:12, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for the notice Nancy. The claim(s) seemed ambiguous to me so I thought I'd give a speedy a shot. I'll follow up and see if it needs anymore attention. OlYellerTalktome 15:19, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

[edit]Hi, sorry for not getting back to you earlier on this. i agree that the article as it stands is a total mess - poorly sourced if at all, prone to over-listing and promotion, stylistically all over the place. A lot of the information in it is true, but clearly WP policies need it to be verified with proper sources as well. For quite some time now i've wanted to overhaul the thing. If you don't mind a little more waiting, i will make an effort to find and add some proper sources this week. Oh, and thanks for your description of how i seem as an editor etc.! *tips hat*.

Article Assistance: American Honda Motor Company
[edit]Hello there OlYeller, Jeff Bedford here. I noticed that you've been active on the Honda article talk page, and have also been planning an article on Honda R&D Americas, so I wanted to introduce myself. Earlier this summer I began to write an article on American Honda Motor Company - the North American subsidiary of Honda Motor Company. In the process I have read through several books on Honda's American operations, and have been diligent in citing reliable sources. I have also taken a photo of the Torrance, CA facility for use in this article, which is now on the Commons and published under the Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported license. I hope that you and others are able to make use of it in any future articles.
To this accord (no pun intended), I happen to have a WP:COI with the subject matter, as Honda is a client of my employer. With this in mind, I have directed increased attention towards writing the article in a way that agrees with NPOV, Notability and Verifiability. The article is now in a position to be created, but I'd like to get your input on it, along with your assistance in moving it to mainspace. It is currently located as a draft at: User:Jeff_Bedford/American_Honda_Motor_Company. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on how we can best move forward.
Also, per your note at the top of your User Talk page, feel free to respond directly here (instead of on my talk page). I like your idea here -- it makes the conversation much easier to follow! Cheers, Jeff Bedford (talk) 16:01, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
Why did you revert my edit? I added three references, did some wikifying and the article are linked from another article. Are they not supposed to be removed after the problems have been fixed? And anyway, why not just reinsert the templates if you think they was removed premature? You don't have to remove the references etc! I'll revert you now, please discuss before you do such things. Sorry I missed to write a comment. --Skizziktalk 12:33, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
- This is a problem that I see occurring often on WP. Your belief is that, even though you made a mistake, I should have taken the time to correct it. With that attitude, half the people on WP would be correcting the mistakes of others and probably still wouldn't catch them all. There's already a huge amount of people who contributely solely to correcting the errors or newbies but as you've been on WP since 2005, you don't get that consideration, at least in my opinion. In this case alone, two people had to assist this make edits on this article because of your single edit. In the future, do everyone on WP a favor and take 30 seconds to proof read your edits. Everyone makes mistakes but going around expecting others to fix them is just inconsiderate. If you or anyone else makes edits that are obviously half wrong, I'll revert them based on the principle that you have created more work than you have contributed. OlYellerTalktome 18:21, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
- I will think about what you said and be more careful with removing templates in the future! I Assume good faith and hopefully you meant well, but in future, it would be much more constructive if you not just revert edits that you do not like, but instead say what is wrong (at my talkpage for example) and than I can change it myself! I took a look at WP:ORPHAN and you was right, I should not have removed the template when there was only one link to it. The same may be true for the others as well. But as I said, a short message would be much nicer, instead of making an "edit that are obviously half wrong" yourself (removing the only sources from a BLP). --Skizziktalk 10:54, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
Re. RCAF Coal Harbour... Apparently this has been deleted... I cannot think of a reason why... The advisory states there was plagiarism, but I think there is some confusion since I did copy a portion of an earlier post (my own words) on Coal Harbour. I think the software picked up the copy and assumed that someone had cut and pasted it... which in fact happenned. But actually was the original author, so do not think that this qualifies as plagiarism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Canadaman1 (talk • contribs) 04:58, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

- There article isn't and never was nominated for speedy deletion. Also, using the newpage template is not really for new users and specifically not for biographies of living people. I have placed improvement tags on the article so that any WP editor (including you) can use as pointers to get an idea for what needs to be done. OlYellerTalktome 03:05, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
Thank you, very much appreciated. sorry about the confusion
- Ah, I see. I think you're getting the pages mixed up. The book's page is a copyright violation. You may have permission to use the text but we can't simply take your word for it. Check out this link to get an idea on how to get that material donated. Until then, the article may be deleted but it's important to note that the article can always been recreated or brought back once permission is given. Really, it would just be much easier to rewrite the text in your own word but that does not mean changing some words as that still constitutes a copyright violation.

[edit]Hello. When you patrol new pages, all articles that you have looked at should be marked patrolled, whether you marked them for deletion or deemed them acceptable, unless you are not sure. This saves time and work by informing fellow patrollers of your review of the page so that they do not duplicate efforts. Thank you. Kudpung (talk) 23:59, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
- Hey. I'd be happy to mark them as patrolled. Is there a link in the bottom right corner? I hope this isn't a template
messagewarning though given the amount of pages I patrol and the amount of time I've been on WP, it would be sort of insulting. OlYellerTalktome 00:07, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
- Hi. Absolutely no insult intended :) Adding tags does not automatically check an article as patrolled. A good idea is to check the article as patrolled first, then go back and tag it. If your omission was an exception, please understand that I do not have time to check through every patroller's editing history. I am working very quickly (around 1,000 pages in the last 2-3 days) to gain a couple of days margin on the 30 day limit after which unpatrolled pages get automatically accepted whether they have been deleted or tagged or not. Please keep up the good work - it's urgently needed. You may also wish to join in the discussion on extending the 30-day period to cope with the enormous backlog. (see Village Pump).--Kudpung (talk) 00:20, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
- Absolutely. I'll make sure I mark them from now on. I don't know if this matters but the new pages I usually check are marked by one of the various filters (large unwikified new article, article with no references, very short articles with no mention of the title, etc.). I used to check the New Pages portal but it was pretty overwhelming so I moved to something I felt like I could make progress on. I'll check out the discussion and help however I can. :-) OlYellerTalktome 00:53, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

I am removing improvement tags COI and advert from Tata swach. As discussed with User::OlYeller21 these issues were to be addressed once the article was rewritten from a neutral POV and copyright issues were addressed. Please undo if incorrect. However, since very few Wiki articles link to this page, The orphan tag is retained.
- These messages don't need to be left here. On the talk page of the article is fine. I addressed this issue on the talk page of the article. OlYellerTalktome 08:22, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Patxi's Chicago Pizza
[edit]If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Patxi's Chicago Pizza requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. ttonyb (talk) 20:10, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

- If you're not sure about the hoax or if we've found all the copyvio material and deleted it, I'll probably mark it AfD for general notability based on the fact that I can't find anything about the subject anywhere. OlYellerTalktome 21:52, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
- Yep, it's there, although in the original it is a discussion of Checkov, not H. VanThoustra, so it may well be far worse than a copyright problem. Just looked at your talk page comments. I agree. Very strange. I'll go ahead an delete it as a copyvio, as there is enough overlap to be a problem. If it's a hoax, we probably won't hear a complaint.

[edit]Hi. You made a comment about Google search results (a valid one I might add) at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Godsville.

I'd appreciate it if you could clarify by moving your comment to the right place now that I've tagged the original comment with an {{unsigned}}.

[edit]I was reading here. This plasma reactor is essentially the same thing as the (later) MIT microplasmatron (only without the micro bit) It might be a better idea to write an article about that if you are looking to save the world. lol 84.107.147.147 (talk) 03:43, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
- Assuming you're not being facetious, I'm not really into those technologies anymore. GEET is a complete hoax or ignorant folly. It's just a carburetor and a very poor one at that. There's no similarity between the two if that's what you're insinuating. OlYellerTalktome 07:49, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
What differences are you referring to? 84.107.147.147 (talk) 15:00, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
- If you're under the impression that GEET has any sort of plasma gasification process, you'd be mistaken. In fact, there's no plasma anything involved with GEET. It simply vaporizes a water/gas mixture that's fed into an engine like a regular car carburetor would perform. If this isn't something you're very knowledgeable about, check out this video on how plasma would be used to create energy in the way that Paul Pantone believe his reactor works (although it's not really a reactor). Note that the plasma reactor reaches temperatures that would melt the engine where it sat. Also, what Paul Pantone never showed in his videos and explanations is that if have a mixture of some sort that's 20% gasoline and use it in his invention, it will only run for 20% as long as a 100% gas mixture. On top of that, it will eventually cause damage to the engine (water in an engine is bad). His carb has been shown (without statistical significance) to be slightly more efficient than an old carb which is nice but there's very few vehicles that still use carbs (they use fuel injection isntead which is more efficient).
- Sure, it's possible that Pantone has somehow accidentally found a way to create a low temp (relatively) plasma gasification process that's so advanced that no one can figure out how it works. It's possible that he was wrongly persecuted for illegally selling securities that weren't registered with the SEC or returned when his invention failed. It's possible he was screwed over by his attorney and maybe that attorney had incentive to screw him over. Maybe he was wrongly committed to a mental institution. Maybe his personal spending of the money invested in his company was somehow justified. It's all possible but doesn't that all just seem a little bit convenient? I just have a hard time believing that people took so much time to do all but kill this man just to quell an invention that's never been substantiated and has even been called out as a hoax by much more notable and reliable people than Pantone. At best, I'd say he believe what he says and is just doesn't want to admit he's wrong and/or has mental issues. At worst, he's a liar and thief.
- In case you think I'm just part of the haters or syndicate that wants to steal his ideas and put him away, please remember that you found me.
- Lastly, let's assume it does work and works great, they claim that a steel rod inside the reactor must be facing magnetic north. This is great as long as your vehicle will travel in one direction at all times. Also, it's interesting that this was never mentioned in original videos. I'd be really interested to check this claim against his old videos (see if the engines were facing north) but really, I have better things to do with my time.

Hey, just letting you know I declined a G12 speedy on this page. The website you put down as the source of the copyright violation appears to be a live Wikipedia mirror, without attribution. I was slightly suspicious when the content was character for character identical, including superscript areas for references, heading titles, and the table of contents. I followed a link to http://binge-eating-disorder.co.tv/ and took a look at Binge eating disorder, and saw the same issue; the two are also character for character identical. I'm just letting you know so that you won't make the same mistake on any other pages. Cheers. lifebaka++ 22:27, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
- I guess I'm not too surprised. I tend to mark them (copyvios) even if I'm not sure for a few reasons. I'll check it more closely and let you know if I find more concrete evidence. OlYellerTalktome 23:10, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
- In a very quick search, I found the text posted here from 2010. I'll do more research before/if I mark it again. I'll let you know either way. OlYellerTalktome 23:13, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
- Here's another place that published the information. There's no date on the specific post but "newer" posts on the website come from 2005. I'm going to try and find where the information was first published. OlYellerTalktome 23:17, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
- Damnit. I do this sometimes. I monitor new pages through various portals for various copyright issues. I didn't noticed that the article I had found had been redirected to this page which was created before any of the links I posted (it dates back to 2004). I generally only deal with new articles so I'm stopping my search. OlYellerTalktome 23:20, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
- Don't worry about it, people make mistakes and it's no big deal. Even if someone else had seen it first and nuked on sight, these things can always be fixed. Cheers. lifebaka++ 23:24, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
Wheeltug Oddities
[edit]I'm in the process of making the changes you suggested. I think I've confused "references" with being references to a topic in the wikipedia entry, as opposed to references of the wikipedia entry subject. Hence linking to articles or surces on a topic mentioned mid entry (like FOD) that explain and provide more information on FOD in general but don't mention WheelTug (since they predate WheelTug). Can you help me on understanding the difference? I still want to provide links to the specific 'topic' that is of relavent to the 'subject' (of the wikipedia article) for those who want to know more about what is being refered (or referenced) to.
As for notability through articles, there are several articles in Janes Airport Review, but they are paid subscription, but there are others including one in Motor Trend magazine: http://www.motortrend.com/features/editorial/112_0901_flying_hybrids_technologue/index.html that are accessible through a search. Furthermore, they have attended the farnborough air show and are attending the paris air show (but through their partners who are well known in the industry).
- "...that there's WAY too much content regarding the problem that WheelTug is trying to solve"
In an effort to show notability, I tried to put in why it was notable. The problems it is desiged to solve are major ones plaguing the industry, and not all of them are obvious (such as the early start times). Furthermore, since all the articles out on it each have their own little piece of the pie, I figure I'd put the whole pie there AND give people the links to explore areas that are of interst to them as they leave the topic of WheelTug itself.

Informing page creators of deletion activities
[edit]Hello, OlYeller21. I notice that you proposed Italian and Romanian common words for deletion and later nominated it for AfD discussion. It appears that you forgot to inform the page's creator of these actions, however. It is considered appropriate to let page creators know about deletion discussions, and templates exist to assist in this notification. See {{proposed deletion notify}} and {{AfD-notice}}. Happy editing, Cnilep (talk) 01:16, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
- Ya, I'm well aware. I use Twinkle and it did inform them. As you're not very active (at least on this account), I'm sure you didn't know what was going on but in the future, I'd refrain from calling people out until you know what you're talking about. In fact, please stay off my talk page unless you have something useless to say. OlYellerTalktome 01:26, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
- Oh, I see that the problem resulted from (presumably) that user having two accounts, not any problem on your end. Thank you for the explanation. Cnilep (talk) 01:56, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

TOMs
[edit]Sorry about that. I am new to editing and commenting on Wikipedia. I have a number of "discussions" about TOMS with people trying to quote the Wikipedia page saying that TOMS was falsely claiming to be a non-profit when it was actually a for profit. Just wanted to make sure that was changed. So I will make sure I use this forum next time. AND thank you for making the changes. Departurewaves (talk) 19:30, 2 April 2011 (UTC)DeparturewavesDeparturewaves (talk) 19:30, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
- No problem. My first attempts on Wikipedia turned out to be pretty horrid. I suggest not arguing with anyone who quotes Wikipedia. Also, for what it's worth, just because TOMS is a for profit company doesn't mean they don't do good for the world. Friends of Toms is the non-profit side of the whole deal. Helping people and making money aren't mutually exclusive. OlYellerTalktome 19:50, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
Thank you!
[edit]It's always nice to get good feedback. :D Katharineamy (talk) 22:42, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
- Very welcome. OlYellerTalktome 22:59, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

- This is a first. Wonder why it thinks I was the author. OlYellerTalktome 02:39, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
- You created the title again, probably due to tonight's horrendous database lag. Weird. Acroterion (talk) 02:46, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
- Seems that way. Glad we got it cleaned up. Thank you. OlYellerTalktome 02:47, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi there. I've declined your speedy nomination of Norwich Union Open, as it was not an eligible topic for CSD A7. A7 should only be used for "real person, individual animal(s), organization ..., or web content", but the article seemed to be about an event or tournament. Lankiveil (speak to me) 13:15, 3 April 2011 (UTC).
- I think this is a matter of opinion. The subject, in my opinion, is both an organization and event that go by the same name. I knew when I tagged it that it would be up to the discretion of the patrolling admin. I'll go hit it with a prod now. Have a good day! OlYellerTalktome 16:03, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
